urban string

urban string sessions take place monthly in our own venue in the heart of Hamburg's famous distric St. Pauli: the resonanzraum. In a district defined by its clubs and bars, urban string can be described as a hotspot of classical and electronic sounds. The concerts are hosted by the musicians themselves, and drinks are available at the bar.

Each evening is especially curated by ensemble musicians, who also provide short introductions to the pieces. Some programs feature guest soloists who add to the group musically, while almost every event features a DJ or electronic musician.

»That, for me, is what real life is about: always being fully present in the moment.«

»The concerts are called »urban string«, initiated by the sensational, adventurous and energetic Ensemble Resonanz. This extraordinary chamber orchestra manages to inspire a new audience for its music month by month.«
